Digital River Exceeds Estimate – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 4th, 2009) Writes:

Digital River, Inc. (DRIV) recently reported third-quarter revenues of $99.4 million, up 3.2% from the year-ago level and surpassed management’s revenue guidance of $96.5 million – $98.5 million. The growth in revenues was driven by strength in software, consumer electronics and games markets where the company expanded existing client relationships and closed new business as well. Earnings per share of 42 cents easily beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents and exceeded management’s forecast of 38 cents – 41 cents. Earlier, prime customer Symantec announced that it would not renew its existing e-commerce agreement with Digital River beyond June 30, 2010, when its existing contract expires. However, management is encouraged by the future prospects of its existing business. Going forward, management continues to work on its business plans in response to Symantec’s decision to not renew its e-commerce contract. The company stated that it does

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 3rd, 2009) Writes:
ATS Medical, Inc. (ATSI) reported a third quarter 2009 net loss of 1 cent per share, in-line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate but better than the year-ago loss per share of 6 cents. Total revenues for the reported quarter were $18.8 million, increasing 17.3% year over year. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency translation (FX), total revenues increased 19.4% year over year.

In this segment, Mechanical valve revenues increased 10% year over year to $11.6 million.

Five Thousand Pounds of Steel are Falling

Frank Holmes (October 30th, 2009) Writes:
Drivers on San Franciscorsquo;s Bay Bridge were greeted by 5,000 pounds of metal on Wednesday when a recently repaired eyebar snapped under pressure from high winds. Unlike the 2007 bridge collapse tragedy in Minneapolis, no one was killed and only one motorist suffered minor injuries. A lucky break since the accident happened during rush hour on a bridge that services 280,000 commuters every day. This isnrsquo;t the first newsworthy item in the Bay Bridgersquo;s history, as a 50-foot section of the upper level collapsed onto the bottom level during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The image was quickly beamed to millions of homes around the U.S. as they were tuning in for Game 2 of the World Series. Though a major disaster was averted this time, the clock is ticking unless measures are taken to rebuild, reinforce and restore Americarsquo;s crumbling infrastructure. One in four of Americarsquo;s bridges are either structurally deficient or functionally ...

Housing Prices Up Again – Analyst Blog

Dirk Van Dijk (October 27th, 2009) Writes:
Helped by the "first-time home buyer" tax credit and other forms of government assistance, home prices -- as measured by the Case Schiller Composite 20 index -- rose for the third straight month, up 0.97%, but still down 11.36% on a year-over-year basis, and off 29.89% from its May 2006 peak (note below when I reference peak levels they are from May 2006, not from the individual city peaks, which might have been a few months before or after the national peak). Since home prices do exhibit a fair amount of seasonality, I am working with the seasonally adjusted numbers. Most of the press has a habit of tracking the unadjusted numbers, which I feel is a mistake. So realize that the numbers presented here might be different from what you read in the newspaper tomorrow. A total of 16 of the 20 cities registered price increases, ...

ATS Medical Receives Approval – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (October 14th, 2009) Writes:
ATS Medical, Inc. (ATSI) yesterday received the CE Mark approval for marketing the ATS CryoMaze 10-S Surgical Cryoablation Probe used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in the European Union.   The new product complements the current ATS CryoMaze Probes by adding a linear cryoablation probe that provides more controlled stiffness. This enables surgeons to have more probe leverage so that they can achieve contact with the targeted tissue that is difficult to reach.   The ATS CryoMaze 10-S Surgical Cryoablation Probe achieves the coldest probe temperatures needed for cardiac arrhythmia surgery. The argon-based cryoablation system can reach a temperature of -1600 Celsius versus nitrous-oxide systems that can achieve temperatures of -650 Celsius only. The colder probe temperatures provide faster and deeper lesions compared to the traditional linear lesions.   The ATS CryoMaze 10-S Surgical Cryoablation Probe can be easily shaped by hand without the need of ...

Digital River Loses Top Customer – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (October 12th, 2009) Writes:
Earlier today, Digital River Inc. (DRIV) announced that its largest customer, Symantec Corporation (SYMC), notified the company that it will not extend its existing e-commerce agreement. The agreement, under which Digital River provides a variety of e-commerce-related services to Symantec, expires on June 30, 2010. This is a stunning blow to Digital River as sales of products for Symantec accounted for 24.3% of its total revenues, and sales derived from proprietary Digital River services sold to Symantec consumers accounted for 9.4% of revenues in 2008. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, sales of Symantec products accounted for 22.5% of revenue and related services revenues accounted for 7.5% of revenue. Symantec informed Digital River that it expects to move all of the online traffic currently outsourced to Digital River to an internally developed Symantec e-commerce system before the current contract expires. Symantec has not yet ...
